By Ambitious Impact, Peter Brietbart, Joey🔸 @ 2025-08-21T14:01 (+28)

The Mental Health Funding Circle is a network of donors dedicated to supporting high-impact, cost-effective programs that improve mental health and wellbeing. Twice a year, MHFC grants a total of $500k to $800k to promising and effective charities focusing on mental health and wellbeing. Apply for funding if:

• You are a registered non-profit or charity (or work with a fiscal sponsor).
• Your work focuses on mental health and wellbeing. This overlaps with non-life saving global health and development interventions that score particularly well on life satisfaction improvements.
• You measure outcomes and have a plausible theory of change.
• You have or work towards a cost-effective intervention. (i.e. <$50 per point-increase in life satisfaction, or another standardized axis strongly tied to quality of life)

Competitive applications will fit one or more of the following descriptions:

• Deliver a self-contained, discrete project with clear success criteria; or
• Scale up a proven model; or
• Implement something new based on compelling evidence; or
• Produce highly valuable helping others increase their impact; or
• Address a highly neglected issue
